Grand Haven Lighthouse

Grand Haven Lighthouse
While in Michigan recently I had the opportunity to do some photography with my youngest brother. One of our excursions was to Grand Haven. Grand Haven lies where the Grand River and Spring Lake empty into Lake Michigan. There are piers on both sides of the channel at Grand Haven and both have lighthouses. In fact, the south pier has two lighthouses, the one shown here the outer of the two. The photo was taken from the North Pier and one of the insets shows the small light on the end of that pier. The other insets are of the inner lighthouse on the south pier, taken on a different occasion and another photo of the outer lighthouse.

Wow, Ron, what a fantastic set of images!! :) I agree with your choice of main picture but I really enjoyed all of your insets, particularly the first inset, which is on FIRE! :D The main picture does something I always love, which is to show how very small we are in this world. Such a beautiful and petite lighthouse, it looks like an old school house to me! Set in your composition, it shows what a grand position it's seated at, and gives a glimpse of the weather which it shines a light through. Dramatic and wonderful, and also shocking to remember...that's NOT the ocean. It's the edge of a vast lake. Marvelous, and all contained in one picture. Nice job.

You are so sweet to take a stroll through some of my pictures! All the comments, WOW! I wanted to reply to some of them here for some feedback!

Re: the mantid cases...now that you have seen them, you will find them yourself because you'll look for them subconsciously. Under edges of logs, attached at the bottoms of fences, on branches and bark...they are well-camouflaged but your clever mind will not rest now, until you can stare at one with your own eyes. Marvelous creations too. Strong and well-constructed, they do not break if you try to fold it in half, though bits will flake off. It's worth carefully taking one apart so you can see how its made. They are marvelous!

I don't know if you're aware that you can purchase mantid cases, just as you can buy ladybugs for the garden. I have done this a couple of times because the show is just astonishing!! If you're interested, here's a link to a website which sells beneficial insects: www.arbico-organics.com/product/praying-mantid/beneficial-insects-predators-parasites
The first time I bought one, I checked it fiendishly many times a day. One day...THE BABIES BEGAN TO EMERGE!!! OMSQUEEEEE!!!! You've just never seen anything so adorable in your life!!! Itty bitty mantids, perfect copies of the adults and every one a total badass ready to kill everything in sight! I couldn't believe the NUMBER of babies! (Would you just LOOK at these hatching babies? ARE YOU NOT IN LOVE?! Let us SQUEEEEE happily together as we watch! :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsFXHGIVWIQ )

Hard as it was to resist, I released them into our backyard where my ex and I lived. I was sure I'd be able to spot them easily so I didn't feel forlorn about setting them free.

LOLOL...I saw ONE on the first day...and that was all she wrote! Those guys are basically invisible, even when they are right there in front of your nose. I have seen a couple on our property here in Oregon and each time it's an enormous surprise because they are really big as adults...you SHOULD be able to pick them out. NO WAY JOSE, they are premier camouflage artists and change color to match where they stand. One of the most remarkable creatures I've ever had the pleasure to meet! :)

I just finished reading all of your comments to my butterfly pictures...thank you so much! It was wonderful to know you enjoyed the show--and what a delightful surprise that of all places, the hokey Jackson County Fair would have such an exceptional exhibit! (They also had an outstanding bird show featuring a man who promotes free-flying birds and conservation...have kept in touch with the amazing Chris Biro and his never-ending quest to help parrots and birds in need) (If you're curious, www.ipernity.com/doc/290645/album/417349 )

I used to think that artificial exhibits like an insect or butterfly house, would be a joke and total waste of time. Isn't it nice to know that instead they are incredible experiences that give you life-long memories bringing back smiles and feelings of amazement to see so many cool critters close up?!

Beautiful series with great eye-catchers! The composition of this picture also allows a wonderful view of the fascinating cloudy sky.

A beautiful set of lighthouse images, Ron. In your main image though (and it's just my personal interests) it's that fascinating cloudscape that really grabs me.
